The 2013 volume of business was $157.9 million, up from $132.2 million the previous year.

By more effectively managing customers' fleet asset lifecycles through its proprietary Total Cost of Ownership analysis, AmeriQuest routinely increases a fleet's productivity and lowers overall operating costs by 15-20%.

"We design specific financial products for each of our customers' unique operations, which enables them to have more control, increased flexibility, and the ability to drive costs out of their business," said Mike Hamilton, Senior Vice President of AmeriQuest Financial Services. "It's one of the things that make us completely different from anyone in the marketplace."

Hamilton noted that many customers, including companies such as Nestle, Bimbo, Cardinal Logistics, Kraft Foods Group, Mondelez Global, Reyes Holdings, CURE Leasing & Maintenance and PODS, can now count the savings they've realized since working with AmeriQuest in the millions of dollars.

"AmeriQuest has become recognized for the way we use data to uncover savings opportunities in every step of the vehicle's lifecycle.

Record number of older adults completing living wills

Record number of older adults completing living wills
2014-04-02
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — A record number of elderly people are completing living wills to guide end-of-life medical treatments – up from 47 percent in 2000 to 72 percent in 2010 – according to new research from the University of Michigan and the Veterans Affairs Ann Arbor Healthcare System. However, even with nearly double the number of people completing advance directives – which may specify preferences for surrogate decision makers and life-support treatment – there was little difference in hospitalization rates or deaths in the hospital, says the study that appears in the ...

Contrary to expectations, life experiences better use of money than material items

2014-04-02
SAN FRANCISCO -- Despite knowing that buying life experiences will make them happier than buying material items, shoppers might continue to spend money on the latter because they mistakenly believe items are a better value, according to a San Francisco State University study published today. That belief, however, isn't accurate. Those surveyed after making a purchase rated life experiences both making them happier and as a better use of their money, indicating many are sacrificing their well-being for a sense of value that never materializes. The study is one of the ...

Levels of sodium intake recommended by CDC associated with harmful health outcomes

2014-04-02
NEW YORK, NY (March, 2014) – A new study published in the American Journal of Hypertension finds evidence that the average daily sodium intake of most Americans is actually associated with better health outcomes than intake levels currently recommended by the CDC and major health departments, which are now being viewed by many in the scientific community as excessively and unrealistically low. The study, "Compared With Usual Sodium Intake, Low-and Excessive-Sodium Diets Are Associated With Increased Mortality: A Meta-Analysis," concluded that 2,645 – 4,945 mg of sodium ...

Great minds think alike

2014-04-02
Pinecone or pine nut? Friend or foe? Distinguishing between the two requires that we pay special attention to the telltale characteristics of each. And as it turns out, us humans aren't the only ones up to the task. According to researchers at the University of Iowa, pigeons share our ability to place everyday things in categories. And, like people, they can hone in on visual information that is new or important and dismiss what is not. "The basic concept at play is selective attention. That is, in a complex world, with its booming, buzzing confusion, we don't attend ...

'Touched' female cockroaches reproduce faster

Touched female cockroaches reproduce faster
2014-04-02
To speed up reproduction, there's no substitute for the tender touch of a live cockroach. That's the major takeaway from a North Carolina State University study examining whether artificial antennae – in this case, duck feathers – can mimic a cockroach antenna's capacity to hasten reproduction in cockroach females. Female cockroaches that get "touched" – by other female cockroaches and, under certain conditions, even by duck feathers that mimic roach antennae – reproduce faster than female roaches that live in isolation or without tactile stimulation. ...
